Inquiry-based Learning describes a process of educational discovery, wherein a student is guided to "see" issues, ask meaningful questions, and then decide how to answer those questions. This workshops offer discussions of the main components of Inquiry-based Learning, including: how knowledge is generated; how it is transmitted; and how experts, teachers, students, schools and homes contribute to a learner's knowledge. Through this workshop's discussions, project ideas, and sharing, participants discover the value of Inquiry-based Learning activities, which teach respect for one's own interests and the interests of others. The workshop concludes by challenging participants to create engaging Inquiry-based Learning projects in their own classrooms.
Inquiry
We are still coming to grips with understanding all the aspects and concepts involved in Inquiry Learning,
student/child centered
models
integration
pedagogy
constructivistism
information literacy
learning journeys.......
not just where is the student going...but where are we going???
.........are we making this more difficult than it really is????
The best approach is the one that works for you in your classroom. Many teachers have chosen to blend these approaches together.
Others vary the approach depending on the learning need.
3. Learning Intention: Concept and Context Planning
4. Learning Intention: Concept and Context Planning extended
5. Rubric planning model
6. Wall model for Rubric - allow student to 'post' their progress
7. How to assess key competencies
How do we assess all this?
How is prior knowledge and interest assessed?Know
What do you know or think you know about a topic?
Want to Know
What questions do you have?
Learned
What have you learned?
How do you assess performance?
direct observation of the process. "Doing" is what counts.
create rubrics with well defined learning goals. Student input is valued.
performance is less about the right answer and more about process and thinking.
checklists with a scoring system
interviews
portfolios
writing samples
self assessment
Some thoughts:
An old adage states: "Tell me and I forget, show me and I remember, involve me and I understand."
The last part of this statement is the essence of inquiry-based learning.
